I made a small update on my homepage. The photos section (screenshot below) previously was not showing some of the meta information like the syndication links. I added those along with the rest of the h-entry markup so that Bridgy will find the syndication links and send back responses from Bluesky.
A very minor visual update: the “Also on,” author card, published date, and permalink appear now.
I gave Bridgy a nudge to scrape my homepage again and it quickly started sending the responses back to the original post. This IndieWeb stuff really seems like magic, sometimes!
Hi hi, it’s been a minute since I shared my face. I made it to the beach to enjoy a nice sunset last night.
I am so sorry about your dad’s and your own infections. I hope you both recover well and there is not long-lasting damage.
It’s important that everyone who is medically capable wears well-fitting masks in public settings. It is one of the simplest and most effective ways to reduce transmission. Each broken chain of transmission is lives saved. Remember that damage from these infections is cumulative. Each time, you’re more likely to have long-term post-viral illness, even if your initial symptoms were “mild.”
Institutions are failing us, but we can still protect each other. 😷💛
This was a great read and I really appreciate the now-therapist reflections! I found you from the alumni Facebook group and look forward to reading the rest in this series. I went on a couple trips in the ’90s and interned in ’97. The documentary was pretty good and I’m planning to write some on my blog too. I realized I mostly haven’t written about it publicly, from my current perspective, just shared in the Facebook groups.
Purity Ring is requesting that fans wear high-quality masks at their shows and they’re providing them if you need one. Grabbed a ticket so fast!
“we kindly request that fans please wear high filtration masks at our shows. n95 or kn95, and we'll have them at the door if anyone needs. thank you!!!”

Spent most of the day cleaning up a hacked website. Computers might have been a mistake. WordPress definitely was.
I’m trying out AutoHotKey after seeing Joel’s post with his example script. Looks promising and more flexible.

Listened to “Air-Borne” with Carl Zimmer on 99% Invisible. It was a great introduction to our growing understanding of airborne viruses and the importance of cleaning the air, much like we clean the water.
Very relatable. Thank you for sharing and I wish the same for you tomorrow. 💛
Watched a great Defcon talk by Micah Lee: “We are currently clean on OPSEC”: The Signalgate Saga
I knew it was bad but hadn’t followed it much after the initial news cycle. It was even worse than I thought.

I updated my site to use the Libravatar CDN for avatars. If one isn't found, it will still fallback to Gravatar, so it should be seamless for commenters. I also updated the default icon to identicons, so people without avatars will get a nifty geometric image instead of the anonymous silhouette.
My privacy policy is updated with this information too.

Throwback to 2018. This mural used to be in North Park, San Diego near where I lived. The artist is Mark Paul Deren (@madsteez on Instagram) and it was titled “WEENosaurus Rex.”
Unfortunately, a mini Target moved into the space and they painted over it, despite a petition trying to save it. Here’s an NBC San Diego article about it. It looks like WEENosaurus might still live on in Fairfax, Virginia, though.
Challenge accepted! 😉 jk
New shirt arrived just in time for HTML Day! Of course I got the cat one, too.
